Microcurrent Therapy

Microcurrent therapy refers to a kind of treatment which is used for a patient who has a soft tissue injury & chronic pain. Just like electrical stimulation therapy, the electrodes are normally passed on an individual`s skin over the tissue (the affected one). Unlike the electrical muscle stimulation, microcurrents are smaller. Therefore, one will not feel anything during the treatment process.

People`s bodies have natural electrical currents that help cells when communicating. In the case of a disease or injury, these electrical currents will be disrupted. And without the currents, the body cells will not be able to function well. When the body cells are not communicating, and functioning properly, the healing process will be slowed.

Microcurrent therapy will restore the electromagnetic field within an individual`s body in order to back up the body cells to normal function. So, it will help in speeding up the healing process. According to research, microcurrent therapy decreases pain, muscle spasm, and inflammation. Also, it can assist with a range of motion.

Commonly, microcurrent therapy is used for neck & back pain. However, it is good for various physical conditions; both acute & chronic. Usually, treatment is many sessions long. Besides, it is frequently combined with another kind of chiropractic therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What is Microcurrent Therapy

It is a form of treatment that uses electrical current (small amounts) to help in relieving pain and healing of soft body tissues.

How Does It Work

Injuries to an individual`s body will disrupt its usual electrical activity. This therapy will produce electrical signals just like the ones that naturally occur when a person`s body is repairing the damaged tissues. Therefore, by applying electrical currents, it will enhance the process of healing.

What Does It Feel Like 

Since the electrical current that is used in microcurrent therapy is smaller, it will not be felt.

Why Is It Used

Mostly, microcurrent therapy is recommended especially in cases that involve soft tissue inflammation or muscle spasms. And because microcurrent therapy will mimic the electrical fields of the body, it is useful in relieving pain & stimulating the healing of the body`s soft tissues.

Benefits of Microcurrent Therapy to Patients

• Reduction of swelling & inflammation

• Helps to speed the process of healing

• Improving the regeneration of soft tissues

• Releasing muscle trigger points

• Masks acute & chronic pain

• It will help in approximating the body`s natural electrical currents in order to enhance the process of healing
